Cubs' Ben Zobrist: Not in Monday's lineup

Zobrist is out of the lineup Monday against the Reds.

Analysis:

Zobrist will take a seat for a regular maintenance day following eight straight starts for the Cubs. The utility man has just one hit in his last three games, and is batting .214 since June 1. He'll get a day off to hopefully get back on track, giving way to Javy Baez, who will bat leadoff and start at second base.
